Not on my watch

Protected Chaffin from the soldiers in the street in Operation Swordbreaker

How to unlock the Not on my watch achievement in Battlefield 3 - Definitive Guide

Cuz there is no Videoguide: here is one.

In Operation Swordbreaker, just after you RPGed the Sniper in the Hotel you need to backup your Medics form the Roof. Here you cant die, else you miss this Achievement (thanks to SecretSpyAgent to find that out) - the Descriptions in the Achievement Details is a bit confusing.

Tipp: After you played thorugh the Campain you can replay the Missions via a Mission Selectionmenu. So just play the Mission on easy, if you have trouble.

This achievement is Not On My Watch worth 25G

For this achievement you need to Protect Chaffin from the soldiers on the streets and roof in Operation Swordbreak. Mainly they will be coming from the street level directly infront of Chaffin. There will also be a group of soldiers on the roof to the left of your position. Take these men out while Chaffin advances to save your fallen comrade.

This achievement can be missed, requiring you to replay the mission

*It seems you need to stay behind after defending Chaffin and shoot the remaining enemies running after him. Alt account did pop when I did this.

Didn't pop for me, either, so this is either definitely missable or it's glitched and doesn't always pop.

It is missable, first time it didn't pop for me. Second time I didn't walk away immediately when Chaffin was safe but started shooting the soldiers that emerged in the street afterwards. Then it popped.

This achievement is officially bugged. I've done it over a dozen times now and it won't unlock. Tried on every difficulty too. I've killed all the enemies on the street and rooftops, and shot as many as possibly as they run down the street at the end.

Apparently it can't be done on Hard? I did the exact same thing on Easy and Hard, killed 5/6/as many guys as I could that run onto the street and only got it second time on Easy.

I did not kill any more enemies, when my squad said to leave the roof and it popped for me (medium difficulty). I don't know, maybe every allied soldier on the street has to survive. I think everybody survived when I got it. i did not see many people storming my building, I just watched the allies on the street vanish in that side alley.

This achievement is not bugged. You just have to not die during the level and at the end when all of the enemys are running to the building at the end, kill a couple and the achievement will pop. Just to point out, you can do this on any difficulty.

Once your allies escaped, there will be like a dozen of PLRs running towards you. Kill a few of them and it should popped.

I used the guide done by Rooster Teeth and he got it after killing a few of them like I said earlier.

Hmm. That is pretty strange. It could possibly be missable, but it was your main mission you had to follow. So, I didn't believe it would be missable. I will go through on my alt account to verify if this is indeed a missable achievement. Thank you for the post.

You would think it would be unmissable . . . and yet somehow it didn't pop for me. Guess I will have to get it on the next play through . . . Grrrrrrrr!

This achievement is missable and/or bugged. It didn't unlock for me on my first playthrough, which was on Hard. I replayed the level on Easy and it unlocked straight away. (Edit: Though it doesn't say it in the description, a death during the level will prevent you from getting the achievement. Do it all in one go.)

Chaffin is the solder who gets shot shortly after the first time your squad breaks into two groups. You drag him to safety, clear the street and then move up to the roof. Take out the sniper with the AT rocket, and move to the NW corner of the building as directed. Switch to your secondary weapon which has a high-powered scope and prepare to take out enemies on the street.

After taking out a group on the street, a member of your squad says that there are guys on the rooftops, so take them out. The Marines on the street will move up to the next cover and more enemies will spawn on the street and balconies of the second floor of one of the buildings on the left side of the street. Take them out again, and yet more enemies will spawn on the street (one of the squad members says something to the effect of "Oh fuck" at this point).

After that group, the Marines evac Chaffin to safety (you can zoom in and see them carrying him into an alley). As soon as your squad member asks "Can we get off this fucking roof now?" the achievement should unlock.

It's not bugged. It's just not sufficiently specific. The achievement won't pop if you died once you're on the roof (and possibly the checkpoint before that). Good guide and I voted positive anyway

Died at the point when they start crossing the street on my hard play through, no achievement. Let the sniper kill me just before firing AT at the hotel on easy, reloaded, provided cover, achievement unlocked. Guess you cant die once your supposed to be providing cover, any other time is ok

You can die during the mission, just not after you get past the point where you shoot the sniper in the building.

This was literally the easiest achievement ever. smile

When you are at the part of defending the ground team, in the mission mentioned above, just sit there and wait behind the walls.

I played the game on easy and saw my team taking out the bad guys on the street. If you do not die, while staying in cover, the achievement will pop.

During the mission "Operation Swordbreaker", after you take out the sniper with the AT, you will move across the roof of the building to cover Chaffin's extraction. Use your sniper rifle and take out the enemies that appear, and the achievement will unlock after the ground team safely makes it across the street.

*It appears some people are having trouble getting this achievement to unlock even after performing the required actions. Until more information is available, try attempting this on different difficulties*
